Summary

Killed a man, have you? I recognise the signs – the tremor of your hand as you fill the glass, your gaze distant and unfocused, the bottle clutched like a hand in the dark. Did you watch the light go out in his eyes? Did you see him buried? Did you know his name?

Summary

Their room is drafty. The sound of drunk men singing alongside an out-of-tune piano floats up through the floorboards. Goody says again, “No, step back with your left foot first,” and Billy laughs but tries.

Summary

He wakes up to the harsh red Mars sun through the window and Billy reclining in the room’s one pathetic armchair. Goodnight isn’t sure if the other man’s slept. Billy says, glancing up from his data pad, “You’re really Goodnight Robicheaux.”

Summary

Goodnight has only been traveling with Billy Rocks for six months when they have a close call that's a little too close for comfort. After that, Goody just wants to make sure Billy knows knows how much what they share is worth to him, that he'd do anything for him, with him. Of course, even with all Goody's flowery words, getting that message across to Billy is a bit more difficult than it should be.

Summary

Life drawing. They had had all kinds of models throughout the semester and now they had to go out and “stretch their wings,” “find their muse.” Ultimately, they had to ask one of their unimates to sit in (preferably) their underwear for several hours so that they could draw them. Everyone else is talking about cheerleaders or classmates they want to draw, but Jamie knows exactly who he wants to use.
